Pawnbarian PC Game 2021 review:
The game is fresh and good. The cost-effectiveness seems to be good and it’s a gem. Fight the enemies placed in a square.
(v1.2.11 Update added)
Ponvarian is the most standard character, King x 1 Rook x 2 Bishop x 2 Knight x 2 Pawn x 5, and has the ability to upgrade a pawn to a queen under certain circumstances. The Knight Templar is a character who mainly uses knights, and has the ability to trigger a cantrip when using a knight twice in one turn, instead of a king x 2 rook x 2 bishop x 2 knight x 6 and cantrip upgrade, which will be described later, is impossible. The Shogun is a very complex character.
The battle starts with the opponent’s monster’s turn (we don’t know, this part is a bit dissatisfying) Then you can draw 3 cards from the draw pile and use the 2 action points you get to play cards. When you press the End Turn button or use up all your Action Points, your turn ends and the used cards and cards in your hand go to the discard pile. If there are no cards to draw, move all discard piles to the draw pile.
After the battle, it enters the shop phase. You can move freely in the shop and you can upgrade your cards or buy maximum health. Attributes that can be attached to cards as upgrades are: Shield: 6 gold, gain a shield after moving. Disappears at the end of the turn
X-shaped attack: 6 gold, after moving, inflict damage in 4 squares.
Pros of Pawnbarian:
- Upgrading your cards can add a lot of flexibility and strategy
- Almost every enemy have their own unique traits or mechanics to be aware of
- Multiple ‘chains’ that increase the difficulty of the floors
- Very strategic and thought-provoking gameplay
